Send us a Text Message.Get on the waitlist for the Tiny Marketing Club!In today's episode of Tiny Marketing, I, Sarah Noel Block, dive deep into the art of naming brands with the incredibly talented Alexandra Watkins, the mastermind behind names you know and love, like the Wendy's Baconator! Biggest TakeawaysSmile and Scratch Framework: Alexandra Watkins provides a clear and effective methodology for naming brands through her "Smile and Scratch" framework. SMILE stands for Suggestive, Memorable, Imagery, Legs, and Emotional—qualities that make a name attractive and sticky. SCRATCH represents the pitfalls to avoid, ensuring the name doesn't confuse or alienate potential customers.Importance of Memorable Names: A great brand name should leverage existing knowledge or concepts to be memorable. For instance, using metaphors like "Kryptonite" for a bike lock plays on familiar themes (Superman's weakness) to enhance recall and association.Strategic Repulsion: Effective naming isn't just about attracting the right audience but also about repelling the wrong one. This ensures that the business aligns more closely with its ideal customer base, enhancing satisfaction and efficiency.Emotional Connection: Names should make a strong emotional connection with the audience. This connection can transform a mundane interaction into a memorable experience, fostering loyalty and positive associations with the brand.Future-proofing Your Brand Name: It's crucial to choose a name that doesn't limit your business's growth. A name should be broad enough to encompass potential future expansions and not lock you into a narrow niche, preventing costly rebrands down the line.Meet AlexandraAlexandra Watkins is a leading and outspoken authority on brand names with buzz.

Today, my guest is Alexandra Watkins. Alexandra has a company based around her website, EatMyWords.com - which you'll understand once you listen to the podcast - she is a naming specialist, that nuanced and niched aspect of copywriting where people come up with names for companies, services, and products (you ever heard of the Baconator from Wendy's? Well, Alexandra is the one who named it). We have a delightful conversation about brand names she's developed for law firms. As we think about branding, or even rebranding our law firms, it's never really been easier to do that if you're so inclined. This is an important topic to cover, and Alexandra shares some great information. In this episode, Neil and Alexandra discuss:Naming and branding your law firm.Creating a marketable and sellable brand for your firm. How SMILE and SCRATCH can help you select the best name for your firm. Creative strategies for making your name pop. Key Takeaways:If your name is difficult, you may not want to name your firm after yourself - it can be hard for potential clients to find you if they can't spell it.If a name makes you scratch your head, scratch it off your list. People remember words and names that they have an association with. If you're buying a domain with a difficultly spelled word, buy the common misspellings as well and have them redirect to your correct website. "Your name shouldn't be ambiguous. Nothing about your business should be ambiguous." — Alexandra WatkinsGet in touch with Alexandra Watkins:Website: https://eatmywords.com/ Book: https://eatmywords.com/brand-names-book/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/eatmywords LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandrawatkins/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.
